Skeptics of the proposed hyperscale data center in Box Elder County are sweating about a lot more than its energy demands and potential toll on water supplies.
This is USica, it doesn’t matter where you’re pumping it, just that it’s out of where you’re pumping it from. Doesn’t really even matter what you’re pumping, USians gotta pump something.
Well… It’s 9GW of waste heat. Same as the energy supply.
No, 9GW of electricity, and they claim 16GW total. With a greater than 50% efficient gas plant.
Probably like 8GW of waste heat, and 1GW of infrasound
Ok, but that will still need to be handled otherwise it’ll shake the building to it’s knees.
They just pump it outside of the environment
…into another environment?
No, outside of the environment.
There’s nothing out there but birds, (poor)people and 1 gigawatt of infrasound.

Don’t know if you’re trying an obscure reference to the shadoks, an absurd french tv cartoon from 1968
No but I know what I’m watching after getting my daughter on the school bus!

I got the environment reference, just the pumping bit sounded more like a shadoks bit.
